There are studies that aimed to measure the correlation between emotions with other variables, and adding to that, physiological response was also measured in recent researches (Elices et al, 2012, Rollings, 2013). It suggested some parts of the brain are associated with emotions (Miu & Baltes, 2012, Mauss & Robinson, 2009).

When measuring empathy, researchers tend to use tools such as questionnaires and physiological changes when applying a stimuli. The evidence showed the changes of physiology was occurred when participants was watching emotional videos (Elices et al, 2012; Rollings, 2012; Sze et al, 2012). Miu and Baltes (2012) investigated the correlation between empathy and music performance, which suggested empathy can enhance one’s music performance and throughout their research, they discovered that traits of sympathy had a stronger correlation with negative emotions.

The present study is looking at whether empathy can predict one’s physiological change. This study is using three traits of empathy: others, suffering and contagion. The findings from previous research (Miu & Blates, 2012) and some studies used negative emotional stimuli and the result showed a stronger physiological change compared to positive stimuli. For example, Elices et al (2012) applied three stimuli which aimed to elicit anger, disgust and fear; Sze et al study (2012) showed that distressing films increased more changes in one’s physiology. Therefore, suffering could predict a change in an…

Research indicates that people value music primarily because of the emotions it evokes. Yet, the notion of musical emotions remains controversial, and researchers have so far been unable to offer a satisfactory account of such emotions…

day people are exposed to music in one form or another, whether they wish to hear it or not. For example, every time someone walks into a store, goes to eat dinner or something as simple as walking into an elevator. Music is always playing in the background. It can actually be somewhat hard to get away from it. Yet the music does not seem to irritate people, if anything we can use the subject of music to learn about someone’s personality. The question, “What kinds of music do you like?” is a universal…

What exactly is jazz? As defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary jazz is “American music developed especially from ragtime and blues and characterized by propulsive syncopated rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees of improvisation, and often deliberate distortions of pitch and timbre”.

researchers in many parts of the world and has led to the conclusion that music is an extremely healthy activity to be involved in.
A study conducted on school children in America concluded that children who took voice or piano lessons had higher IQ’s at the end of the year than those who did not (Munsey, 2006). Dye (2012) reinforces this, stating that scientific research shows that studying music improves school performance. Gaser and Schlaug (2003) showed that musicians learn advanced motor and…

An employee performance appraisal can act as motivation for an employee to improve his productivity. When an employee sees his goals clearly defined and is measured against the set goals and objectives, a need can be identified about the future strategies of employee motivation. In this review, I will look at and explore the multiple arguments of the management research articles. So, the question I must ask: is there a positive correlation between employee motivation and job performance?

In a study conducted by Gilbert and Weaver, the correlation between sleep deprivation, sleep quality and academic performance was examined (Gilbert and Weaver, 2010). The degree of knowledge regarding this particular subject has not been well studied because of the small sample sizes used. As a result, the study investigates the link between the sleep habits of college students and academic performance in larger samples.
The researchers hypothesized that the participants who had a higher…

MacNamara, Holmes and Collins (2006) state that there are numerous similarities between performances in music and sport. Expert musicians and sports performers are more able to adapt to setbacks than lesser skilled performers, as well as experts having higher levels of dedication and motivation and can communicate more emotion through the pieces being played. Similarly to Chaffin et al. (2003) this communication of emotion may be related to the artistic image with both requiring focus and decision-making…

found that the IELTS and TOEFL tests were not accurate or helpful measures of student English ability. The studies that did show a positive correlation between test scores and academic performance either had too few subjects to measure, or correlations too insignificant to validate. The Australian university that found a strong positive correlation between Chinese students’ test scores and GPAs found that later semesters did not reveal the same results. This is possibly due to Semester 1 courses…
